About this table

Connectors table lists all connectors which have been connected to Miradore Management Suite server. There is one row per each connector in the table.

How to add/remove connectors

Most integration connectors are added by first running the connector installer, as instructed in the connector-specific documentation. After that, a connector configuration item will appear for the connector in the Connectors tab here in the system settings. Use the connector configuration item to define the connector settings.

Only exception is the connector for Miradore MSP console, which can be added in the edit mode by using the "Add connector configuration..." link which is available under the Connectors table in System settings > Connectors.

To remove connector settings and log history, click Edit and remove button on the rightmost end of the connector row.
